Then one day....
It was decided that Fluffy was going to have to go away for the summer holidays. He certainly couldn't stay at the school. All the lab animals had to 'find' a home during the summer and it was usually a teacher's home. So I had to choose between Fluffy or the Corn Snake. Guess who I chose? It was then that I realized that Fluffy 'existed' and was a small animal requiring the basic needs of life. I had to clear Fluffy's move into our apartment with my husband and it was then that HE decided to call Fluffy...Harry the Hampster.
I still remember that hot June day, with Harry in his cage on the back seat. To think that I actually thought he was going to 'escape' and crawl all over the car was quite silly. But I couldn't help myself, and I kept looking back at the cage all the way home. Harry, having NO IDEA that his life was going to undergo a HUGE change and being nocturnal, slept all the way there.
